He Māmā, he Kaituhituhi, he Kaitohutohu
He māmā, he kaituhituhi whakaputa tānga a Hana Tapiata – ko tana pukapuka tuarua, ko Atua Wāhine: The Ancient Wisdom of Māori Goddesses, ka puta hei a Hepetema o te tau 2024. Ko ia hoki te kaiwhakataki i te pāhorangi o The Whakapapa Effect, e noho ai ia ki te whakamāori i te mātauranga tūpuna, ka whakahāngaihia ai ki tōna ao i ia rā i te horopaki o te ao hou. Nā runga i te whakapakeketanga me te rumakanga ōna i te reo me ngā tikanga Māori, ka ngākaunui a Hana ki te kōrero pūrākau, ki ngā wānanga, ki ngā kaupapa hoki e whakatairanga ana i ngā akoranga a ngā atua me ngā tūpuna Māori. Ko tana tūmanako, kia horahia ngā mātauranga mō ngā tūpuna Māori hei mahere mō tētahi ao e hihiri ā-whaiaro ana, e arahina ana hoki e te whakapapa.
